Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help.

And that….reminded me of this….
“Slow me down, Lord …….ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time.
Give me, amid the confusion of the day, the calmness of the hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of the singing streams that live in my memory.
Help me to know the magical power of sleep.
Teach me the art of taking minute vacations – of slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog, to read a few lines from a good book.
Slow me down, Lord and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of life’s enduring values that I may grow towards the stars of my greater destiny.”
